    help. I planted 9 big beef tomato plans 6 weeks ago in perhaps the space
    you are planting inside each trellis. they are over a meter tall. is it too
    late to transplant them, how will it harm them to plant them this close?

    First you planted them kinda of late unless you are in a cooler climate.
    Second, the plants get way too big for the little space. Leave 2 in place (
    the farthest from each other) and transplant the other 4. Allow about a 3
    foot circumference for each of the transplants. The transplants will get
    shocked, water them well the 1st week, they’ll recover in about 2 or 3
    weeks. Plant them in full sun, they’ll grow faster. Mine are in Los
    Angeles, CA and it’s hot. Keep your watered when they look droopy

    Make sure you get the large tomato cage for each plant and keep checking
    make sure the branches stay within cage as possible. Since the Big Beef
    overwhelms even the large cage I put a stake at one end of each cage (a 4
    foot rebarb works good) to keep the cage from toppling from the weight of
    the tomatoes.
